💸 What was your very first sale?
by•
Everyone remembers their first sale. Not the biggest one. The first one.
Almost every founder I talk to tells a similar story. It wasn't big money but something changed after it. Before that you're someone who builds things. After that you know people will actually pay for them.
And it almost never comes from a perfect pitch. It's a friend of a friend, a follow up someone almost didn't send, a random comment that turned into a call.
What was your first sale? And how did you actually get it?

Interesting that almost every first-sale story in the thread prompt comes down to a person, not a pitch. In outbound I keep seeing the same thing, the first yes rarely comes from the polished sequence, it comes from the one message that was clearly written for that specific human. Curious whether people here got their first sale from someone they already knew or from a total stranger.
@galdayan same pattern I see. The first yes is almost always from someone who already knew you a little, even if it’s just from a few comments online. Strangers come later, once there’s something to point at
